Several years ago, Motor Man built, at my request, a little section of fence in our side yard. (No, it isn’t crooked, although the angle of this picture makes it appear to be.) Just to the right, you can see the deer family’s entrance/exit to the marsh. Their front door, if you will.
On Tuesday, Mama Deer and her two little ones were out grazing in our yard just before sunset. At least they were only eating grass and not munching on my pansies.
Marshall was visiting that evening, and we were amazed at how interested in us the little ones were.
Marshall would whistle softly and they’d walk a little closer.
We definitely had their attention. They were probably within about 30 feet of us.
The one on the left was much more leery of us than his sibling was. He would run away and then quickly return. This game went on a few times, before they decided it was too dangerous to linger any longer.
Linking up to Friday’s Fences.
these days of mine 
How nice that MM made them their very own front door? 🙂 Happy Friday, Dianna .. MJ
Those pansies look delicious….I think you were lucky they stuck with the grass only! They look to be a couple of healthy little guys……don’t you just love seeing them? We sure do.
Happy Friday………Pam and Sam
Beautiful pictures! They are adorable:) Looks like you guys are well on your way to domesticating deer!
gorgeous views. deer are very popular in this neck of the woods. they are every where. some places you wish that wouldn’t be. ha. ha!! (:
A very quiet “yay” for Marshall the deer whistler.
Beautiful! I love their little entrance “gate”…I know it was fun watching them so close!
Wonderful!
Happy Friday!

They have such sweet faces. Nature at its best. Beautiful photos.
Great shots Dianna! Love their noses and black tipped ears. I see a little bluebird house out there 🙂
It’s no wonder they’re so friendly…they have food, water and know no one will harm them…their very own deer paradise!
Your deer are so pretty. It’s such a gift to have them so near and so curious. These are great photos for the Friday Fence theme. 🙂
Your little visitors seem much more tame than the ones who travel through our yard. Glad they didn’t snack on the pansies! Great pictures.
LOVE that last shot! Their eyes and ears just POP…and they’re in motion but so crystal clear. What a joy to have such pretty creatures wandering in and out of “your” space!
How wonderful to have these visitors in your own backyard. Great photos!
When the deers get in our yard, they eats everything!
Kisses

my gosh, they’re beautiful!
I didn’t really know what I was going to do if they came up to us.. I didn’t have any food, after all ! The pose of the one on the left is great in the last pic .. ready to run .. !
Don’t you just love watching them!
Ours will stand and watch us.
Lovely photo essay!
Sweet!
Your pansies are so pretty ~ hope the deer will leave them alone. We have so many deer on the farm; why can’t they just eat grass and leave the flowers for us?
There’s something friendly about deer, even in their skittishness. We love it when they come to visit.
How endearing (a-hem!) the young ones are. Glad they prefer your grass over your pansies. Is that the case throughout the season?
What wonderful captures of your deer. We have them running through our old farm place, but I have never had the camera ready at the right moment. They are so sweet and innocent looking. I do not know how the hunters can shoot them. It breaks my heart. genie
lovely photos of the dear, the fence, the flowers….how very lovely.
Dianna I love your deer and the pictures you take of them. Deer is such a beauitful animal. Thanks so much for sharing.
Beautiful scenes.
Regards and best wishes
They are so pretty, and curious as kittens. I’m glad they have a safe place to roam. You got some great shots of them. Hope the pansies survive. 🙂
